we are two big decisions away from the meltdown in the american economy. with a 10-year time frame, cuts in spending and investment, we need to do all three. we need to tax, cut come and invest in the sources of our strength. i think that would have a huge effect. americans feel like children of two permanently divorcing parents and it has been a call on the country. if we got a grand bargain on an ash -- and a jury, how do deal with this in a safe and sustainable way? -- agreed on a grand bargain on an energy, how do we deal with it? maybe this applies to american politics, but all the important politics happen the morning after the morning after. >> when is that? >> i do not know and make no predictions, but if romney gets smashed, i happen to think the political problem in the country today is we have a center left party and a far-right party. that is a short show party -- a structural problem. the republican party has gone nuts. that is my opinion. they have been simultaneously at war with math and physics at the same time.
